Inner-city single-sex schools: educational reform or invidious discrimination?

Article Abstract:

Detroit and other cities have proposed the creation of single-sex schools to meet the needs of black males. Single-sex schools could be constitutional if offered to both sexes along with coeducational schools. Although studies on the educational advantages of single-sex schools are inconclusive, the problems facing inner-city schools are severe enough to justify experimentation. Courts should not prohibit all forms of separatism, but should distinguish between institutions that continue established patterns of subordination and those that attempt to remedy past inequities.

Cooperation and conflict: the economics of group status production and race discrimination

Article Abstract:

The desire for social status drives the dynamics of cooperation within social groups and leads to conflict between groups, a dynamic which accounts for race discrimination. Cooperation and conflict occur in excess of the predictions of current economic models because the models have not accounted for the effect of social status. The status production model is better than the associational preference model at explaining both the persistence of discrimination and its true costs.

Privatization of federal Indian schools: a legal uncertainty

Article Abstract:

The Bush administration has proposed a loose scheme to privatize Indian schools by encouraging tribes to partner with private management companies. However, the scheme will probably not pass muster with Congress or Native American tribes and retains final control with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A scheme which would give the ultimate decision-making power to the tribes is proposed as an alternative.
